They really touched on everything but Sand Snakes and Gendry. Can't have giant battles without leaving out important story lines and for an opening episodes, I feel they shouldn't leave the audience saying "What about _____, what are they up to?"

It's crazy, right? Read the books, too. There is so much story that this series hasn't been able to get to.

In the books, Jon Snow turns out to actually be the Mother of Dragons' nephew; the son of her brother older than Viserys, who was already dead in the back story; eldest child of the mad King, is what I'm hearing in the media from viewers of the series who have also read the books...is that the case?

None of that has happened in the books yet. The show is further ahead.
